My children are almost 5 years apart, Lizzy was born in September 2001 and Frankie in May 2006. That is a bigger span than most of my friends. It seems that the norm is more like 2-3 years in between.
I enjoy watching Lizzy take care of Frankie like a little mother and look out for him. Lately she has been reading to him each morning and he will bring her a book and say, "Lizzy, read". She will entertain him for me while I am making dinner or bring his his favorite toy if he falls down and is crying. I think because of the span in ages, she wants to take care of him.
So I am thankful for the way my children are, the years in between and;
